It's the fact that veggies are more expensive than a Big Mac. If you go to a supermarket you'll notice that a pound of potatoes are over five dollars while a bag of potato chips go for a little over one dollar.

Statistics show that the lower-class you are, the more likely your weight is above the national average. I feel that if the government wants to help decrease the obesity plague, they should start with making healthier foods more accessible to those with smaller paychecks.

Yeah, even at places where soup is offered to those without any money they are still given food that won't benefit them in many ways besides filling their stomachs.

Speaking from my own fatness, I would say disease...hahaha...However I am trying to over come my DISEASE!!!! Maybe some day I can be a skinny emo kid, if so I will definitely listen only to EMO. hahaha

Obesity is a problem that can only be solved at a younger age. (Mind you, a 45 year old could get skinny, its just a lot harder) If parents taught kids proper nutrition and exercise, it would most likely carry onto their future.

Going the way we are now, in about 30 years, we're going to have an assload of very fat old people.

Aw, shit...

Seriously Bill_Thrash, that last post almost made me puke from laughing so hard.

I know it wasn't supposed to be funny, but the whole thing is something I have observed too and I was laughing tears.

Jesus, warn us next time.
